Critic Reviews for Young Sheldon Season 1

All Critics (45) | Top Critics (18)

It has got a lot of heart, and plenty of laughs.

Mar 23, 2018 | Full Review…
Justin Burke
Top Critic

What we have instead is a warm-hearted, coming-of-age tale in the style of The Wonder Years. But without a Parsons-level comic talent among the cast, this series will live or die based on whether the writers can create characters worth falling for.

Feb 23, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
Catherine Gee
Top Critic

Young Sheldon ends up having a mind of its own, even if it's a prequel to a long-established hit.

Sep 22, 2017 | Rating: A- | Full Review…
Ed Bark
Top Critic

Little Sheldon is an easily anxious fellow who tattles and condescends. He'd be a turnoff except that the charming young star and Parsons' narration confer great appeal.

Hal Boedeker
Top Critic

Young Sheldon is surprising for all the right reasons; so much so, it's hard to tell exactly where it will go next.

Sep 25, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
Ben Travers
Top Critic

What's funny in Sheldon/adult is grating in Sheldon/child.

Sep 24, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
Verne Gay
Top Critic

As with the adult Sheldon, there are just enough outbreaks of sweetness to make you love him, despite everything.

Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review…
Alison Rowat

Thankfully shorn of laughter track, it will surprise some with its (relative) delicacy, its long, nice, un-busy single-camera shots, at stark odds with its frenetic parent show.

Mar 12, 2018 | Full Review…
Euan Ferguson

It's smart and lively without being terribly amusing.

Mar 4, 2018 | Full Review…
John Boland

But for those who can handle a smattering of schmaltz with their diet of sitcom, the laugh count should more than compensate.

Audience Reviews for Young Sheldon: Season 1

This humorous story of a beloved character is fresh and great to watch. With great performances from the whole cast, it makes this a very watchable series. Also, it is not just littered with jokes, it builds up to them with great themes and good characters who make up Sheldon's entertaining but annoying family.

Daniel H

This show is absolutely hilarious! The show explains how Sheldon is shaped today by his family

Drea J

This is an amazing show can't wait for more season

Jim B

Season 1 is amazing. Must watch. Humour with sense . The cast is good.

Siddhi T

Sheldons mom isn't even the mom that plays as Sheldons mom in the big bang theory. Probably couldn't get her because she is already playing on another crappy show they should have left in the 90's, the conners. Whoever thought of this didn't really think about what has already transpired on the big bang theory about Sheldon. This show is just annoying.

Jane M

I will admit to having never watched the Big Bang Theory... haha. However, I find this show on its own to be charming and funny.

Kenny B

Incredibly funny, well-written show. My favorite show. Every episode has been wonderful. This is not a show for children, but they can watch. They will probably like the show but the humor is targeted at adults. Annie Potts is outstanding. This o Dey is hysterical. You’ll be laughing. Don’t miss it.

Mindy D

Not only does Young Sheldon bring a fresh new, funny sitcom to the table, but it immerses us in one of tv's most famous and renowned characters, Sheldon Cooper. Each episode lets us explore the rich world in east Texas where they live, and how Sheldon developed his mathematical and scientific mind. though in the last episodes in the first season, it revolves around sheldon's grandmother, "meemaw," and her relationship with another scientist, Definitely worth seeing in the long run,

Theo%20 T

It is a great show. and i have an idea that will help it last longer. Thank you for your time producers. another topic: On episode 16 one can see how talented is mr. iain armitage, as he sings, dances and does some acrobatics. congratulations to all.

Young Sheldon relies on an enjoyable blend of wit and sit-com and thanks in large part to its engaging protagonist, manages to overcome its familiar elements.
